How to delete emails on iPhone

My iPhone 4s (with upgraded OS) takes awhile to load up over a thousand emails where I tap that icon.
Is there a way to delete them all at once? The "Delete" tab on the bottom always seems to be grayed out.
Thanks.

When you have your email open, click edit top right bottom left mark all, then delete. But this will delete all emails then.
No, that will NOT work. Marking in that context only allows you mark as Read (or unread), or flag. It will not select mail to delete it.

  • How to delete email from iPhone ONLY and not from server?

    Hi. I have a Yahoo! POP mail account.. Can anyone advise me how to setup my iPhone so it ONLY deletes email from the iPhone and NOT the server. So, after I read an email on the iPhone and delete it, the email remains in the INBOX on the server? If not, I will send a feedback to Apple. BTW - I can dl and send email just fine. Thank you.

    ampullae,
    When you setup Yahoo on the iPhone it defaults to IMAP because Yahoo offers free IMAP Push for iPhone users, as discussed in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305882
    If you add your Yahoo account as "other" it will be setup as POP.
    With IMAP messages are stored on the server, and messages created in one email client, such as the iPhone, show up in the sent mailbox on both. In addition messages moved to a different folder on the iPhone, will be in a different folder when you access your Yahoo mail via a web browser or another IMAP client. Likewise message you delete, will also be synchronized and deleted.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • How to delete emails on iphone 6?

    I try to delete emails from my inbox, but they somehow keep showing up back in my email box. Can someone give me the proper procedure here, or why it isn't working. I can send them to trash, then delete from trash, and they go back to the inbox. Wth?

    Settings-mail,contacts & calendars
    Email Accounts, Edit.
    Go in and make sure the leave mail on server is not checked.
    Additionally you must complete the same process from the online version of your email.
    As a rule I don't have the email on my phone checked as leave mail on server. If I read it, I delete it.
    On iphones there are two places you see email accounts. The lower portion of the email shows the accounts. I migrate to the trash bin there and select all for deletion and they stay gone.
    Good Luck

  • How do I delete email from iPhone without deleting them from my Mac

    How do I delete email from iPhone without deleting them from my Mac?

    To remove a photo from iPhoto and your Mac:
    Put it in the iPhoto Trash, then enpty it. Then empty the system trash as well
    If you want to remove a photo from iPhoto but keep it on your Mac:
    First Export the file from iPhoto (File -> Export) to whereever you want it and then go through the steps above.
    Confusion arises as the notion that you would want to remove a pic from iPhoto but keep it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's like saying I want to remove one address from Address Book, but still keep it on my Mac. The point of iPhoto and such apps is that they are used to manage your photos. Anything that you need to do with the pics cn be done either with or via iPhoto.

  • How do I get deleted email on iPhone to BE deleted on iMac?

    I WANT deleted email on iPhone to BE deleted on iMac...successful with GMail, no luck with Yahoo or ATT(Yahoo). Thanks

    Depending on the type of email, the answer is different.  I'll answer for regular Yahoo Mail, as I have it set up on mine.  On your computer, go to mail.yahoo.com and sign in.  Then on your iphone, go to Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> Click the account. 
    At the top of the next screen click the account name, and then click "Advanced" at the bottom of the next screen.  Under mailbox behaviors, the folder names in blue should match the names of the corresponding folder on Yahoo, EXACTLY.  So if on yahoo, the folder is called Trash and on your phone the "Deleted Mailbox" doesn't say "Trash", it's not going to sync properly.  It will just create a new folder on yahoo's server with whatever name it's set to be.
    ALSO, make sure the mail on your imac is set up as IMAP and not POP.

  • How to delete emails on all devices simultaneously

    Cannot find the answer to my question and probably won't be able to ask using the correct terminology, but...
    I have a mac laptop, iphone, and ipad as well as a mobile me account. I also have three email accounts set up on each of these devices through the mail application (me.com, hotmail, and gmail)
    I am trying to figure out how to delete emails simultaneously from all devices when I delete it on one device. For example: I delete an email I read on my ipad from my hotmail account and want it it disappear from the inbox on my iphone and laptop. As it is now I have to delete messages separately from all devices... meaning I have to waste time reviewing messages I have already decided to throw away.
    Can anyone offer help on how to accomplish this.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Actually, Yahoo is Imap (as is google).  but the point remains - if you are using a pop account, you need to delete the mail from each device.(pop is basically a one way system).  If you have an imap account, changes you make of one device are communicated to all your other devices.

    You need to do it through iTunes, by unsyncing them
    Wtih  your iPhone connected, open iTunes on your computer, and click on your iPhone's name.
    This should bring up the Overview Page, then click on the Photos Tab.
    From their uncheck the folders that have the images you want top remove from your phone. Then sync the phone. itunes will remove the pictures during the sync process.

    Are you trying to delete them from the Podcasts app? Like most other places, you should be able to swipe your finger across the title, as if you were striking it out, then tap delete.
    If you can't swipe to delete it, you can delete some content from apps like Music from Settings > General > Usage.
